Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

We give a pedagogical review of how concepts from quantum information theory build up
the gravitational side of the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence. The review …

A bstract We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly
coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a …

In this paper we refine a conjecture relating the time-dependent size of an Einstein-Rosen
bridge (ERB) to the computational complexity of the dual quantum state. Our refinement …

A bstract We study products of precursors of spatially local operators,\({W_x} _ {{}
_n}(tn)\cdot\cdot\cdot {W} _ {x_1}\left ({t} _1\right)\), where W x (t)= e− iHt W xe iHt. Using …

A bstract We identify conditions for the entanglement entropy as a function of spatial region
to be compatible with causality in an arbitrary relativistic quantum field theory. We then prove …

A bstract Using gauge/gravity duality, we explore a class of states of two CFTs with a large
degree of entanglement, but with very weak local two-sided correlation. These states are …

We propose a dual non-perturbative description for maximally extended Schwarzschild Anti-
de-Sitter spacetimes. The description involves two copies of the conformal field theory …

For a state in a quantum field theory on some spacetime, we can associate a density matrix
to any subset of a given spacelike slice by tracing out the remaining degrees of freedom. In …

We study some aspects of Maldacena's large-N correspondence between \calN=4
superconformal gauge theory on the D3-brane and maximal supergravity on AdS _5*S_5 by …
